Now I have a question How do you make those diamonds?
The diamond pattern is something like origami. If there is any interest, I could create a tutorial. Y'all just let me know.

Lose the bow...but place a button on each handle.
Really nice job.

How about some green fabric posing as stems, coming from the center flower out to the others?

I agree with the others about the bows, they just don't match the pretty diamonds. For the handles, you could carry the diamond theme and make smaller diamonds, maybe two, with a smaller button in the middle, sort of a mistletoe look. Maybe yellow diamonds with pink buttons.

I love your bag! Please do a tut. I would love to do this on my reusable bags as well. I also thi k the small bow is not adding that little touch you are looking for.

love that bag!!! And yes on a tute for the folded flowers!!

I'm thinking some viney type embroidery or free motion stitching around the outside, in a bright green.

I also like the idea of big buttons ... yellow, pink, or perhaps a combination. Some kind of "fun" button ... big old chunky one.

I've got an Eleanor Burns tote with a big old picture of her face on the bag ... tacky ... I never thought of "covering" her face!! I've got a few other bags that would benefit from prettying up!
